Voodoo4 Delay?

This is a test of the Shacknews broadcasting post message history system.

SGI isn\'t really a consumer company, but their techinians have been using T&L for years now. They know their shit, hell.. they own openGL. So by the time the next 3DFX chip ACTUALLY comes out, nVidia will probblay have a new chip already in production with at least 50 million polys, and full scene AA, motion blur and DOF focus just as bullet points on their products.

All these 3DFX junkies are bitching about the T&L, and how nobodyw illt ake advantage of it for a long time, but lok at themselves. who the FUCK need full scene AA at 1280x1024? with the GeForce your framerate wil never drop below your maximum fill rate. Jam 8 quake3 marines into one room and watch the 3DFUX totally die when they start shooting, while the GeForce will just rip those fucking polys right up.

Nobody will be making games with motion blur and DOF effects until nvidia procducts support it, since everybody will have a GeForce by the time the v00d00 4 is even announced.

#12: and what has SGI done in the consumer market lately? That\'s right, nothing. SGI is in much worse shape than 3dfx, even their logo sucks ass now.

BTW, the T-buffer was worked on long before the SGI and nVidia shit, and you do NOT know if the V4 will suck or not, even if you think you do.

#14: the Glaze3D is vapourware right now just like V5/NV15 etc. Bitboys have NOTHING to back it up.

Having said all that, 3dfx is in deep shit if they don\'t have a product for christmas. I\'m pretty sure I\'ll buy a GeForce if it comes out in October. I\'ve been waiting for this elusive 3dfx uber-chip for a long time.

3dfux is suck a shitty company. their so terrified now of nVida and SGI together, that they start indroducing stupid shit like the T-buffer, and other proprietary bullshit to make thier products lok better on the screenshots\'s they\'ll release, but what people are finding hard to realize is that the voodoo4 will be a gutless piece of horse shit.

Think about what the NV-15 is going to be like now with SGI\'s top techies working with nVidia. SWEET! 3Dfux is scared, and they should be.

Actually #11 its
\"3Dfx is screwed\"
not are screwed.. hehe
get it right :)

I guess the G400max i\'m getting will have to tide a little longer for the napalm.

If 3dfx doesn\'t have something for christman... they\'re in big trouble.

About the S2000, isn\'t it coming out for Chrismas, not November?

Not good news for 3Dfx. Sounds to me like they\'re trying to make it compete with the generation of cards due out in a week or two(read: maybe T&L). If that\'s what they\'re doing they\'re going to be behind by the time they get this puppy out.

Oh well fuck Napalm then, I\'ve skipped the TNTU because they were too expensive but I find it hard to skip the GeForce.

Seeing as the Voodoo5 will be late for sure, I want to buy something.

Hey I have an idea... what if they just \"skip\" Napalm and just bring out Voodoo5?

god I hate it when I do that
